Hi everyone.
I had a wonderful day today at London and it was great to see everyone whether they were running, at the cheering point or at the Thistle afterwards.
I want to offer a special thank you to everyone who was involved in setting up and dismantling the cheering point. But particularly, big thanks to Ashley whose endeavours made it all possible by organising all the balloons, banners and frame for the banner which worked a treat (despite Spans' best efforts with the screwdriver!). The whole cheering point was a great success thanks to Ashley and everyone's efforts and epitomised the tremendous spirit that the club continues to stand for.
Long may it continue...

Thanks again!
Nearly packrd in and stayed there for the day!!!!!!!!
When one of you nicknamed me 'the organisor' in an email and I told my wife she couldn't stop laughing and said its just as well its only a supporters stand and not a brewery! I tried but as always failed in one area, missing the train and getting there 30 minutes late.
Still I have learnt some lessons from today and also from re watching the video (yes there is an UURWFRCVOFLM2003 to come, but youll see elsewhere its too big at present to upload. Maybe a CD and Meerkat has done and excelant job with the race report.
Still I am off for a well earned holiday away from the Forums for a week (oh and work) and will look forward to reading runners and supporters stories next week upon my return.
My final thanks though goes to everyone today for helping assemble and disassmeble the frame and to Itchy Ringer and Slowpoke for getting Christopher and I onto the train safely.
All the best,
RB
Thanks Chris.

And before I forget, don't you have a lovely little boy!!
I wish I'd found my sun-block yesterday - looking like a Swan Vesta this morning.
I did enjoy myself - good to meet up again with now familiar faces & meet some new ones too.
Scotty, if you think you're sunburnt today, spare a thought for Jon!
In case you didn't realise it, I was the one with pink hair and a Cancer Reasearch vest.
Well done to you supporters - you're more help to us runners than you might realise.
I had the most fantastic day, such positive feelings about being together at Mudchute to give our all to the valiant forumite participants.
I will never forget Paula, Spans and Caz sitting on the pavement for that 'special' view of the elite runners, and just looking down the pavement to my right seeing you all standing out in a line (that ended in Nicola's cleavage!!) arms outstretched with bananas/bags of jellybabies and happy yelling faces. Meeting old friends and new ones, and being part of that surge of energy and support that went out whenever one of our own passed was jsut fantastic.
THANKYOU EVERYBODY.!!!!!!

It was great to meet everyone, and Badger your reflection of us sitting on the pavement was spot on and really made me laugh!!
... roll on next year...
Thank you.
Would like to have stopped & chatted but had other things to do. Hope all the supporters voices are returning today (Spans sounded particularly hoarse in the Thistle) and that other supporters learn the benefits of suncream.
Amaxed that I didn't see Scotty - I can normally spot him from miles away, usually well ahead of me in a race.
Please don't anybody apologise for not stopping. We weren't expecting you to stop (I wouldn't have done!) and if you did, it was a bonus.
